Senior Electrical Engineer

Your next move in battery engineering is designing the systems that power industrial, medical, defense, and energy applications, from 12V to 1500V DC. This is a hands-on, full-lifecycle role where you own BMS design, PCBA layout, and production support in a facility that ships custom solutions to OEMs who cannot afford failure.Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a vertically integrated battery manufacturer headquartered in Henderson, Nevada. This is a $100M+ revenue company with two production facilities, over 200 employees, and a growing order book across three business units covering industrial power, energy storage, and medical devices. Most products are manufactured in the US, keeping supply chain risk low and turnaround fast.WHY THIS COMPANYThe battery industry is splitting into two camps: companies chasing EV scale and companies solving the harder problem of custom, high-reliability packs for applications where failure is not an option. This company chose the second path. They build lithium iron phosphate and lithium-ion cells, modules, and packs for industries where "off the shelf" does not exist. Oil and gas, defibrillators, marine vessels, rail, home energy storage. Every pack is engineered to spec.The engineering team is being rebuilt under a leader who values accountability, loyalty, and technical depth. The previous structure created silos. The new direction is collaborative, high-expectation, and supportive for people who do the work. If you want a place where your contributions are visible and your manager will go to bat for you, this is that environment.THE OPPORTUNITYYou will report to the engineering group leader and join a team of approximately five engineers within a broader group of 10-12 including quality and product managers. This is a replacement hire for a retiring engineer, so you are stepping into a defined seat with real project ownership from day one.The role is heavily hands-on. Expect a mix of R&D, design, manufacturing support, and production floor time. You will work on new product development and support existing products across the full voltage range.WHAT YOU'LL BUILDDesign and develop battery pack electrical systems from 12V to 1500V DC, focusing on safety, reliability, and manufacturabilityOwn BMS design, development, and ongoing support across multiple product linesCreate PCBA layouts using Altium Designer or Cadence OrCADPerform FMEA on circuits and support failure analysis on battery modules, packs, and electrical systemsCollaborate across mechanical, quality, and production teams on new product design and manufactureParticipate in hardware design reviews and validation testingDebug electronics using oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, and logic analyzersSupport quality team with corrective actions and root cause analysisTHE REAL TALKThis is not a desk-only engineering role. You will be on the production floor regularly. The company is rebuilding team cohesion after a period of siloed leadership, so the culture is in active improvement mode. The hiring manager runs a high-accountability, high-empathy environment. They expect hard work, reward loyalty, and will advocate strongly for people they trust. If you thrive in structured, no-nonsense teams where results matter, you will do well here.QUALIFICATIONSRequired:Degree in electrical engineering or a related field5+ years of electrical engineering experience2+ years in battery technology, energy storage systems, or battery pack design (preferred, not required)Hands-on experience with CAN, RS485, and external communication interfacesStrong schematic reading and electronic troubleshooting skillsProficiency soldering through-hole and surface mount assembliesExperience debugging with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, logic analyzers)Bonus Points:Proficiency with Altium Designer or Cadence OrCADBackground in adjacent industries: automotive, medical devices, defense, or renewable energyExperience with project and issue management toolsBMS design experience across low-voltage and high-voltage systemsCOMPENSATION AND BENEFITSBase Salary: $90,000 to $160,000 depending on experienceRelocation: $5,000 to $10,000 relocation assistance availableSchedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, fully on-siteLocation: Henderson, Nevada (cost of living well below Silicon Valley and most major tech hubs)Apply via LinkedIn and we'll reach out to schedule a conversation.
